MEETING AT TORONTO. In compliance with the requisition of the inhabitants of the City, the Mayor appointed yesterday, at three o'clock P.M., for the meeting. The meeting was numerously at tended, and the resolutions submitted were carried unani mously. The Mayor was called to the Chair, and Dr. Telfer appointed to act as Secretary. The following are the resolutions put and carried : Moved by Mr. Sheriff Jarvis, and seconded by John Ewart, Esq. Resolved Ist. That the inhabitants of Toronto retain a lively and gratifying remembrance of the visit of the Itght Hon. the Earl of Durham to the city, on the 18th of July last, and of his courteous and satisfactory reply to the address then presented to him ; and they now reiterate the expressions of confidence in his Lordship's administration contained in that address, and of satisfaction at his ap pointment as Governor-General of British North America. Moved by the Hon. and Venerable Archdeacon Strachan, seconded by James P. Smith, Esq., 2d. That at the present crisis, any public circumstance tending to destroy confidence in the stability and power of the Government cannot fail to be productive of the most disastrous results, encouraging faction and paralyzing the industry and enterprise of the inhabitants of this country ; and that impressed with this feeling, the present meeting would regard any occu: rence which might have the effect of inducing the Earl of Durham to retire from the Govern ment of British North America as a great public calamity. Moved by Peter Buchanan, Esq., seconded by William Stonnett, Esq., 3d. That the peculiar and unprecedented difficulties in which the affairs of Brdsh North America were involved when the Earl of Durham assumed the Government ought to have secured for the acts of his Lordship the most libe ral construction, and should have obtained for him the cor dial and unwavering support of all those who are interested in the prosperity of these colonies, and the integrity of the British empire. Arid the inhabitants of Toronto, there fore, have learned with great concern, as well as with grounds of apprehension, the position which certain Noble Lords in the British House of Peers have thought it neces sary to assume, in reLrence to Lord Durham's Adminis tration. Moved by Dr. Baldwin, seconded by Mr. Alderman Gurnett, 4th. That the inhabitant: of Toronto, deeply and imme diately interested in those measures which it is the object of the Earl of Durham to mature, find themselves imperatively called upon at this juncture to express publicly their confi dence in his Lordship, and again to tender to him their assu rances of an active and cord al support in whatever measures he may advise or adopt, ha% i;:g for their object the benefit of all classes of the community ; and this expression of their reli ance on the wisdom and integrity of his Lordship's adminis tration arises from a con% iction that his Lordship's mea sures will be directed to the maintenance of the just and constitutional rights of liar Majesty's loyal subjects, in both provinces ; they trust that his Lordship, undeterred by op position or misrepresentation on the part of those who are unacquainted with the true interests of the country, will pro ceed to the accomplishment of the great object of his mission —the tranquillisation of British North America, and the advancement of her general prosperity. Moved by Mr. Alderman Dixon, seconded by Thomas Carfrae, Esq., sth. That an address founded on the foregoing resolutions be prepared and submitted for signature, and that Messrs. Sheriff Jarvis, Peter Buchanan, and James F. Smith be a Committee to draft the address. Moved by Alderman Gurnett, seconded by T. Barnes Esq., 6th. That five Committees of two persons each be ap pointed to obtain signatures to the address in the different wards of this city. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, &c., OCT. 8. The amount of business transacted in Stocks on Satur day was limited, and the fluctuations unimportant, but ge nerally tending downwards. United States Bank closed at 121 s ; Delaware and Hudson at 72, a decline of I per cent. ; and Harlem Railroad also fell off about 1/ per cent. ; 60 shares in the North American Trust and Bank. ing Company were taken at 92 cash, and 93 buyers 90 days, which is, we believe, the first sale of this stock at the Board of brokers. Some sales of sterling exchange, for the packet leaving this morning for Liverpool, were made at a shade under the highest price obtained for the Great Western. The Marine Bank of Baltimore has declared a dividend of per cent. Augusta, Ga. papers mention the recent arrival of a con siderable quantity of specie on account of the banks of that State. Specie funds, it is also stated, had been provided to a large amount in New York, which could be converted into specie or used for the purposes of exchange, which had fallen to 2 per cent. premium in this city. Of the specie received or at hand the Darien Bank, Ocmulgoe Bank, Branch State Bank, and Munroe Railroad Bank had been the chief receivers. The Bank of Hawkinsville had also lately received 40,000 dollars. We have our usual commercial advices from New Orleans to the 29th ultimo. Business still continued inactive, and no revival was expected until there had been a rise in the rivers above, which were at a very low stage of water. There h a d been a good demand throughout the week for cotton, and an advance in prices of to af a cent. had been established. The sales had been 500 bales chiefly of the new crop at 12 a 13 }c., and one very fine parcel at 14ic. Tobacco was nearly out of first hands, .500 hhds. having been taken at .5 to 9ic. on the 27th ult. Flour 8 dollars 25c. a 8 dollars 50c. Freight dull, without change in rates. Twenty four vessels were in port, nine of which were loading. Exchange on London 10 to 12, and on New York at sight 1 to 2 per cent. prem., and Bank Checks, 2i to 3 per cent.; Specie 3} to 4 per cent. prem.; Alabama and Western money remained without change. The Baltimore Flour Market remains without mate rial change, trifling sales being made at 7 dolls. 87c. to 3 dolls.; white wheat ranged at 1 doll. 65c. to 1 doll. 80c., and red at 1 doll. 60c. to I doll. 70c.; corn at 94 to 97c., which shows an advance ; wheat at Roches ter is dull at 1 doll. 75c. SOUTH AMERICA. (From the Baltimore American.) FROM THE PACIFIC.—TREATY WITH PERU.—Mr. W. B. Hodgson, who came passenger in the brig Cicero, at Baltimore, from Jamaica, travelled over land from the Pa cific, by way of Panama and Chagres, and is the bearer of the ratified treaty concluded between the United States and the Peru-Bolivian Confederation. Mr. Hodgson sailed from Callao on the 13th of July. Hostilities still existed between Peru and Chili. Intelligence had been re ceived at Lima from Valparcliso, that the expedition for the invasion of Peru would sail about the 20th July. It would consist of four thousand men, and its destination was sup posed to be some port north of Peru. The Chilian squa dron for some weeks had been blockading the port of Callao. The American squadron was at Callao. LATEST FROM THE RIVER, PLATE.—By the brig Men tor, Wiley, at Baltimore, the editors of the American have recieved Monte Video papers to the 17th of August, to gether with the Commercial Advertiser, and Captain Wiley's report of an attack 072 Monte Video. On the morning that the Mentor sailed, Captain Wiley reports that the invading army (insurgents) commenced an attack on the City of Monte Video, at live o'clock, a.m., and continued until ten, a.m., when they were repulsed with considerable loss. The attacking fa, cc was waiting the arrival of two more divisions of their army, when it was expected they would be able to capture 01e city. The entrance of cattle into the city was stopped the day before. Extract of a letter, dated Monte Video, Aug. 15, 1838 All vessels arriving at this port are obliged to remain in consequence of the blockade of Buenos Ayres ; not withstanding which, however, prices of imports have been sustained better than could have been expected ; this may be attributed to the continual running of small craft between this and Buenos Ayres and other ports of those provinces." The civil war here appeared lately to be approaching a crisis, from the reverses which the Government party met with, and we hoped to have seen peace shortly restored. Since our last we have had several arrivals from the United States with lumber and assorted cargoes,but they have brought no flour; and from other parts ws have received only about 2,500 barrels, so that bread stuffs are scarce. Wholesale price has been 25 dollars ; retail, 25 dollars to 28 dollars ; while 23 dollars to 25 dohars may be quoted as the rates a t pr,sent. Rice, 18 to 20 reals fo r C aro li na ; lumber, 37 dollars per 1,000 feet ; salt, 11 to 12 reals per fanega, on board.

(From the New York Courier of Oct. 2.) LOYAL MEETING AT MONTREAL. Yesterday's meeting did not disappoint expectation. It Teas very numerous and respectable, and might be taken as a fair sample, both as to number and quality, of the British inhabitants of this city. We have not, indeed, seen it exceeded or( any former occasion here; in those requi sites which give weight to the resolutions of a public as semblage of freemen. There was nothing intemperate, nothing disorderly to weaken the effect of the proceedings ; :and at those parts of them where direct allusion was made to the painful position the interference of his enemies had placed the Governor-General in, there was a warmth in the expression of sympathy by the meeting, which showed both depth and sincerity. But we will not now enter into mrticulars, as we hope to be able to publish to mor-row a full outline of the speeches, &c. The Hon. Peter M‘Gill having been called to the chair by acclamatio n , an d M r . Thomas Mitchell appointed Secre tary, the following resolutions were passed . Moved by Samuel Gerrard, Esq., seconded by John Boston, Esq.:— Resolved I —That this meeting is desirous respectfully lo:convey to his Excellency the Earl of Durham its firm persuasion that in the performance of the arduous duties of his high and responsible office, he has been actuated by an earnest desire to accomplish the object of his important mission ; and, to express a deep regret that the proceedings in the Imperial Parliament affecting his Excellency, and the feeble and inefficient support received by him from her Majesty's Ministers, by impairing the moral force of his Government, have discouraged the hope of its successful issue, and endangered the welfare of British North America. Moved by Turton Penn, Esq., seconded by William Badgley, Esq. : Resolved a—That this meeting laments his Excellency's determination to resign the Government of these provinces at a time when confident hopes are entertained that, by his Excellency's residence among us, he has acquired accurate information as to the true cause of the difficulties which exist, and that these difficulties would be met by some com prehensive measure calculated to take from the turbulent and disaffected the power of using their political rights to the injury of the peaceable and loyal inhabitants. Moved by the Hon. George Moffatt ; seconded by Charles D. Day, Esq,:— Resolved 3—That this meeting respectfully submits to his Excellency its settled conviction that, in the considera tion of a comprehensive measure for the future government of the provinces, the Legislative Union of the Canadas, and the establishment of an efficient Legislature therein, afford the only means of accomplishing their pacification and of perpetuating their connection with the empire, and that any general confederation of the British North Ame rican colonies would, in the opinion of this meeting, not only be inadequate for the attainment of these important ends, but multiplying the present subjects of discord. Moved by Adam Ferric, Esq., seconded by Heny Dris coll, Esq. : Resolved 4—That this meeting would consider the relin quishment by his Excellency of his high office at the pre sent critical period as a public calamity, and respecfully but earnestly entreats his Excellency to disregard the attempts made in Britain to prejudice the public mind against his Ad ministration, to continue in the exercise of the high func tions with which he has been honoured by her Majesty ; and thereby to secure to himself the endearing gratitude of the inhabitants of British North America. Resolved s—That_ a copy of the above resolutions be presented to his Excellency the Earl of Durham. His Excellenc y Sir George Arthur left town on Tues day, in the St. George, for Quebec, to see the Earl of Durham —Toronto Guardian, Oct. 3. 'We have been informed that his Excellency the Earl of Durham has e x p resse d a w i s h th a t Sir John Colborne s h ou ld immediately assume the administration of the Government of Lower C ana d a ; and that i t i s t h e i ntent i on o f hi s Lord ship during the rest of his residence in the province, merely to exercise his functions as High Commissioner in British North America. Colonel Couper, the military Secretary of the Earl of Durham, came passenger in the Canada steam-boat from Qu e b ec t o S ore l, an d i t i s un d e rstood th a t his visit to Sir John Colborne is connected with the pro posed arrangements of the Earl of Durham. (From the Quebec Gazette, Oct. 3.) CURIOUS FACTS.—Lora Durham's Ordinance con demning the exiles to death, should they return to the Province, without leave, is merely a mitigation of two Ordinances passed in Special Council on the 4th of May, 1838. The one authorising the Governor to grant con ditional pardons, and the other for the more speedy at tainder of persons who have fled from this Province, or are concealed therein. One of these Ordinances expressly provides the penalty of death for those return ing contrary to the conditional pardon ; the other for at tainder and confiscation of property for not appearing after Proclamation ; yet, the Ordinance in mitigation is con demned as illegal, and is to be disallowed, while the others remain in force, without one word having been said against them. We believe the Lower Canada Ordinances of the 4th of May contain the same enactments as the Acts of the Lieutenant-Governor, Council and Assembly of Upper Canada, passed in the last Session, and against them, the lawyers in Parliament have not said a word. MEETING AT QUEBEC. (From the Quebec Herald, Oct. 3.) Pursuant to public notice, the meeting to address his Excellency the Governor-General on his proposed depar ture took place this afternoon, at three o'clock, in the lower part of the Quebec Exchange. Andrew Stuart, Esq., was appointed Chairman, and opened the proceedings with a long and able speech, which was received with enthusiastic plaudits by a numerous and highly-respectable audience. The following are the resolutions, with the names of the movers and seconders : Moved by W. Walker, Esq., seconded by J. Leaycraft, Esq., 1. Resolved—That this meeting, entertaining the highest confidenc e i n th e fi rmness , j us tice, and integrity of his Excellency the Earl of Durham, and assured that the powers vested in him would be directed to the true interests of the people, hailed his appointment to the Government of the se p rov i nces as an additional proof of the lively inte• rest of their most Gracious Sovereign in the welfare of her North American possessions. Moved by J. H. Kerr, Esq., seconded by G. B. Symes, Esq., 2. Resolved—That they greeted with satisfaction the arrival of his Excellency, in the gratifying expectation that whilst measures were adopted for the removal of the more pressing inconveniences arising from the suspension of the powers of the ordinary Legislature, and for restoring tran quillity to the country, still suffering from the effects of a wicked and unprovoked rebellion, there would, under the auspices of his Excellency, be matured such a system of Government for the Canadas as would re-establish there in social order, advance their welfare and prosperity, strengthen the ties which connect them with the parent State, and unite them inseparably in sentiment, as they are in interest, with the powerful empire of which they form a part. Moved by A. Gilmour, Esq., seconded by J. Gibb, Esq., 3. Resolved—That they gratefully acknowledge the un remitting exertions of his Excellency, since his arrival, in the inquiries connected with this large and complicated subject, and respectfully express their conviction that the determination of his Excellency to communicate to the pro vinces, for their consideration, his plans for an efficient system of Government within the colony, previous to sub mitting them to the Cabi ne t, i s ca l culated in the highest degree to contribute to the advantageou s settlement of the grave matters under deliberation. Moved by W. Power, Esq., and seconded by G. Pem berton, Esq., 4. Resolved—That it i s w i t h t h e greatest concern they learn, whilst these important labours are in progress, circum stances have occurred whi c h may lead to an unexpected and abrupt termination of his Excellency's official connec tion with this and the adjoining provinces. Moved by W. Chapman, Esq., seconded by W. Bris tow, Esq., 5. Resolved—that they deeply lament the premature discussion in the British Parliament tileret of k the measures of his Excellency, and the coursethe influence of as they have done to weaken moraldisaffected, and to his Govern ment, to encourage the i disat • sions in the minds of toe . loyal. Moved by H. Le Mesurier, Esq., seconded by T. Froste Esq., 6. Resolved—That enter tainin g a conviction of the emi nent endowments of his Excellency, and of his dispositio n to promote the great obiocts confided to his charge, they cannot but express their apprehensions of the consequences which may ensue from his withdrawal from the Govern ment, and the earnest hope, that notwithstanding these un looked-for obstructions, he may be induced to continue to exercise the functions of his high office, until he shall have accomplished the important ends of his mission, for the attainment of which his Excellency may rely on their zealous co-operation. Moved by W. K. M'Cord, Esq., seconded by ---- 7. Resolved—That should, however, his Excellency re tain the c onviction that he can no lon,&•r govern the col o ny wit: , satisFaction to himself, they feel ascuriA that he will in another sphere, render the information which he bag acqui r ed by his labours here con d uc i ve t o th e esta , •• enshment of the permanent peace and welfare of these provinces. (From the New i'vrk Albion, Oct. 6.) A general feeling prevails in his (Lord Durham's) favour throughout the two Canadas, and public meetings have been called at Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Kings ton, Cobourg, &c., at which resolutions were passed ex pressive of the public sentiment. We publish copious extracts from a file of Bombay papers to the 13th ult., received on Saturday by the In dian mail through Egypt. They disclose a state of things likely to create some solicitude, and even alarm, at home ; but it will be seen on a careful inspection, that the military arrangements and preparations, though on a very large scale, are essentially of a defensive character, particularly as bearing on the movements of the " great enemy" of In dia, and therefore affording hopes, if judiciously pursued, of ultimately placing our Indian colonies in a much safer position than they have of late occupied. It is not, how ever, to be denied, that the operations now commenced are of a most delicate and difficult kind—that they will require consummate judgment and wisdom in the ciril and military rulers of India by whom they are to be conducted ; end also, what we fear they cannot, with any safety, rely upon, intelligent support and counsel from the Mi. nistry at home. No man can contemplate the pecu liar tenure, the mixture of the moral and physical control, by which our Indian empire is held, without reflecting that by the commencement of these hostile movements, a spark is thrown among combustibles which may lead to a general explosion. The important point in this Indian affair is the project formed for re placing Schah Soojah, an exiled native prince, on the throne, from which he has been driven, of Caboul, a part of the Affghanistan territory, lying between the Persian frontier and that of the most powerful of Indian living sovereigns, Runjeet Singh. The title of the Schah Soojah to the throne of Caboul, a point which it has al ways been the policy of the Indian Government hitherto on no account to interfere with, is held by the casuist in thesematters to be a doubtful one, but the justification for a departure from that rule, and the support of his claim by a British force, is the civil war and internal dissension by which that whole territory is agitated, and the increased danger thence arising to our Indian Empire, should the Russians succeed in their designs on Persia, with no other barrier to their further advance than a country in that dis tracted and unsettled state. None of these contending chiefs could be made available for an alliance, or brought to act with any degree of concert ; but with a new and strong Government, formed by the aid of a British force, and maintained by B:itish connexion, a check would be placed in Affghanistan on the advance of the Russians, and any combination on their pa-t between Runjeet Singh or his successor prevented. This territory, by its geographical position, equally bars the approach to India from Persia, to the southward or to the eastward. These are the cir cumstances upon which the justification of this great mili tary movement is to depend. The force to be employed is very considerable, consisting in the whole of 30,000 men ; the names of the regiments to be employed, and other par ticulars, will be collected from the extracts we have given. A considerable portion will consist of British troops, and a glance at the map will show that their route, either from Bombay or Calcutta, will lie through an immense tract of country, difficult to pass, and beset with the greatest dangers and the severest privations. The whole west° assem ble at Kernaul on the 31st of this month, the period at which we are writing, and proceed by Bhutner and Bawnpore to C ihoul, Candahar, and such other parts of the Affghanistan ritory as may be determined on in their progress. We have given what is stated in these Indian accounts of the proceedings before Herat, because it is so mixed up with cthsr matter that it is impossible to separate it, but there cannot be the slightest degree of authenticity in it. We have had much later advises from that quarter, which not only do not confirm these, but lead to much more favour able results, by a different course of events as regards the ascendancy of Russian influence in Persia. Thus the great ingredient of time is gained on the side of the British ex pedition to Caboul, so that its objects may be accomplished before a different turn to affairs in Persia shall place within the reach of Russia the means of prosecuting her designs further. It is also understood, and this is another material point for the success of the expedition, that the most friendly understanding exists between Runjeet Singh and our Indian Government. The accounts from the side of the Burmese are much more favourable than the last, and indeed decidedly pacific in their tenour. The new Resident, Colonel Bens , ,n, had arrived at Rangoon, and met with a most friendly reception.—Times. We have seldom seen a notice of arrival, leaving out all consideration of the intelligence brought by it, of greater interest and importance than that from India given in our paper of Saturday. It must appear to all dispassionate and disinterested men, that when a controversy arises, and various theories are started respecting the best mode of pro ceeding for the attainment of a great object, a few facts may prove of immense use in bringing to' an end disputes which would otherwise be interminable. We may have laid before us profound and unanswerable calculations to show that the cheapest, and the quickest, and the most certain route to India is by the Euphrates, or Egypt, or by the Cape of Good Hope, and be lost in a wilderness of doubt on which of them the preference is to be bestowed ; but when one of them comes to be tried, and is found to succeed to a certain extent, and when it is found, moreover, that the instances in which it does not suc ceed can be accounted for by other causes than the difficulty of the route, then the problem would ap pear to be solved which of those routes is to be pre ferred, and the theories and chateaux d'Espaane of other projectors and speculators must fall to the ground and di-appear. Such facts as these are supplied by the simple notice of arrival to which we have referred, and we shall proceed to examine them so as to set forth their bearing upon the truly great and national question now under coo sideratipn respecting the best mode of improving the com munication with India. The annexed table will exhibit in a clear form the results of the notice ;-- London. 9th June. 7th July. Days. MAILS OUT. Bombay. 18th August. 25th August. MAILS 110 MS. Bombay. London. Days. 15th July. 26th October. 103 Ist August. 26th October. 86 12th Sept. 25th October. 44 A voyage to Bombay by the Cape of Good Hope, under the most favourable circum s t ances , and by the " crack" ships of the Comp an y' s mercantile service, usually occu pied four months ; it was sometimes accomplished in less time, but much more frequently exceeded it. In compa rison, therefore, with the worst of the instances here given, there is a gain of twenty days ; in the best of them a gain of eighty days. The latter, however, may be shown to be the true criterion of what is to be accomplished, and regu larly accomplished, too, when all the engines which must be employed are brought into use. The two mails from Bombay —that of the 15th of July, which occupied 103 days, and that of the Ist of August, which occupied 86 days —have arrived in London at the same time with the mail of the 13th of September, which only occupied forty four days. The first two of these would, it is ascertained, have made an equally speedy transit with the third, had they not been delayed either by the arrangements of the Indian authorities in not passing them up in proper time to Suez, or by the arrangements of the Post-office in suffering them to remain at Alexandria. There are not sufficient materials before us to determine wih:r e the fault exactly lies—that the parties may adjust between them, and strike as they please the balance of account, but it is perfectly clear that in those cases the difficultie s of the route had nothing whatever to do with the delay. The same conclusion may be come to with respect to the mails from England and Bombay ; that of the 9th of June occupied seventy days ; and that of the 7th of July only occupied forty-nine days, arriving within seven days of the first, though despatched a month before it ; but is obvious that any hindrances which prevented the bringing up of the mails frem Bombay would equally operate to cause delay in the return. The evidence, therefore, that the difficulties of the route bad nothing whatever to do with it is as clear and satisfactory as possible. The route adopted in all these eases was through Egypt. It is understood that duplicate despatches of the earlier mails to England were forwarded through Syria, in order to afford an addi tional chance of early arrival, but that the chance, such as it is, has been thrown away. The language, therefore, to be addressed to the functionaries, public and private, upon whom this trust devolves, should be something to this effect—" Y ou h a ve accomplished the distance from London to Bombay many times in between 40 and 5 has been done may be done again, and it must e ( s i r e s ith ; er whatbe done regularly, or a reason given to the world in all eases why it is not done." If any of these gentlemen who are here placed before the public as the guardian s of an important trust had become the purchasers of an estate to which no good road existed, except a very circuitous one, would they not bestir themselves assiduously to improve the property, by procuring a better rod to be male If they make but one-half of the exer tion for the public which they would make for themselves, t'.e thing is done. So far from there being any difficulty, after the experience we have had, in making the transit to India trough Egypt as quick as in the best instances above given, we arc firmly convinced that there is Lot a merchant in London of the least spirit or enterprise who would not overcome twice as much 10 open for his house a new and valuable anonexion in any part of the world. This mplifies the whole matter wonderfully, and proves that all the efforts of the trading interest should now be directed to the completion and perfection of the minor arrangements which make up the chain of communication through Egypt ; or to the exposure of those who may fail therein in their duty to the public.—Times. i d o i :rte n ti F ly ri i i t a n y - Although the intelligence received from ! I n , night by her Majesty's Government is u portant, yet it :,,," by no means of a eharactvr to j u -s t if y the l'ar:n that hag been itftpork , ntiy excited in eetti+in quarters. According to an Evening Contemporary, who, however, acknowledges himself indebted to a warlike newspaper ally for his information, hostilities have actually coin- ,1 menced between Russia and England. Not only, however, have they not commenced, but the very steps which have been adopted are calculated, if we mistake not, to prevent their commencement. For some tune, our readers are aware, the Government of India have been adopting very active measures, in consequence of the position assumed and persevered in by Persia. In pursuance of these mea sures, according to the information received on Friday, Lord Auckland had determined upon sendin g 30,000 men, composed of native and British forces, towards the northern frontier. This force, according to the same advices, was to be joined by from 45 to 50,000 men furnished by Runjeet Sing. The object of this demonstation must, of course, in the first instance, have been to prevent the absorption of Herat by Persia, not so much for Persian as for Russian objects. We announced, however, some days since, that, in reply to the representations of Colonel Stoddart, the Schah had promised within three days to raise the siege. Knowing that a Persian promise has something of the Punica fides character, we cannot of course calculate with certainty upon this undertaking being fulfilled voluntarily. But there can be no doubt that the bold course adopted by Lord Auckland must produce this result, if it has not been already obtained. It is said in the newspaper account to which we have referred, that 30,000 men had taken the field against the Russians, who were " marching against Cabul." Marching against the moon ! The writer should at once have said they were marching against Calcutta. The error of supposing that a Russian army could be " marching against Cabul," must be manifest from a glance at the map. Whence are they to march ? From the North ? At one time, we believe, Russia did think of reducing Chiva, and thence effecting the conquest of Bokhara, after which we might possibly hear of her " marching on Cabul." But Russia knows before this the impossibility of transporting an army even to Chiva. And if Russia were to dream of marching an army through Persia, it would, we suspect, be against Herat rather than Cahill. But the idea of the Russians being " marching" against any place we think is at least premature. The advance of a formidable British force must be, at this moment, productive of the best effects in Central Asia. As the policy of the Schah of Persia seems to be wholly directed by his notions of his own interest, the vicinity of 60,000 or 70,000 men will probably convince him that these interests will be more advanced by an alliance with England than a subserviency to Russia. At all events the course adopted by the Indian Government, tending to erect Affghanistan into a barrier of our Eastern empire, is such as is dictated by the soundest policy and will be crowned, we have no doubt, by the most complete success. —Morning Chronicle. We would direct the attention of our readers to the im portant news brought by the last overland despatches from India. In addition to the particulars which will be found in the article of our City correspondent, we give from a weekly Contemporary another statement, and, as will be seen, they corroborate each other in all essential points. It would now appear that what we have long but vainly attempted to impress upon the authorities of this country—the ne cessity of adopting some course to check the designs of Russia against our dominion in the East—has been at length forced upon their attention, if the accounts he true, by something very like actual detection. We have not room to enter into the subject at this moment, but we shall take an early opportunity of returning to it for that pur pose. Whether Russia will persist in her present policy to the extent of maintaining it by force of arms, we must leave for time to determine ; but we cannot help regretting that an earlier display of vigour on the part of our Go vernment did not drive the Autocrat to that alternative before his plans had been so far matured. The question of peace or war would not, in that case, have been a matter of so much uncertainty, or indeed of any uncertainty. From the accounts to which we refer it appears that the British force in India is about to be increased with a view to the pi otection of the northern provinces from the designs of Russia and Persia. Discoveries are said to have been made of the existence of a most extensive scheme on the part of Russia to alienate the native princes from Great Britain,— al/torn/rig Herald. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance to our In dian empire of keeping Herat from the Russians. Of course Russia will not attempt for the present to make Herat her possession, but it is necessary for our security that Russian influence should not predominate there. We must have the occupancy of Herat friendly to British India, and that cannot be if we do not hinder Russia from having anything to do with it. Herat is in the province of Khorassan, and on the high road from Persia to Hin dostan, or rather to Affghanistan, which lies between Hin dostan and Persia. It is between 500 and 600 miles in a south-east direction from the southern shore of the Cas pian, that is from Ferabad and Saree, and about the same distance from Teheran. There is a direct road from He rat eastword to Ghizni and to Cabul, the capital of Affghanistan. This road also communicates directly with Attack on the Indus, and thus the way is opened into Lahore, and the territory of Hindos tan. No doubt Russia has long had her eye upon Herat, which has for years been looked upon as the key to British India, through which a European invasion, if it ever took place, must come. " The invasion of India," says a late writer of great intelligence," by the army of Russia setting out from her present frontier to force a passage to the Indus, and overturn oar empire by a coup de main, may be assumed to be impracticable, or at least to demand so large an expenditure and so vast a prepara tion as to put the attempt beyond all probability. But the difficulties of the enterprise arise chiefly from the distance which intervenes between her frontier and ours, the facility with which we could multiply impediments on so long and difficult a l ine , an d our power to t h row troops into India by sea in a shorter time than Russia could march them by land. Every approach of Russia towards the south is, therefore, an approach towards removing these difficulties, and as soon as the resources of Persia shall have been placed at her disposal, and Herat shall thereby have become her southern frontier, there will be no longer any insuperable impediment to the invasion of India." The possession of Herat, to a Russian army invading British India, would be of nearly as much importance as the pos session of Moscow would have been to Napoleon in subju gating Northern Russia. From her present southern frontier, enormously distant as it is from her northern capital, Russia could not bring supplies for an invading army ; but had she Herat for her southern frontier, with Persia behind her, in which she might at leisure accumulate her warlike stores, the enterprise of invasion would be no longer one of such astounding difficulty. And even if no in vasion by armed troops were attempted, the inconvenience and injury of the possession of Herat by the Russians would still be severely felt in India. As the writer already quoted has said—" Independently of the danger of actual invasion, the advance of Russia as far as Herat, that is, the entire command of the resources of Persia, would disturb the whole system of the Government in India, even were she to act towards us with more forbearance and good faith than she has hitherto done, and send fewer secret agents into India than she has hitherto sent." The country will, therefore, observe with satisfaction the active steps which our Indian Government appears to have taken upon the northern frontier, and we trust those restless fools who are said to anticipate with joy the change from English to Rus sian masters, will soon feel the chastisement due to their folly and disloyalty. On the other hand we rejoice that Runjeet Sing is stated to have brought forward so promptly the important assistance of his army. The line of the Indus must be strengthened without delay.—Morning Post CRIMINAL COURT-(SATURDAY.) OLD COURT. Abraham Grout was indicted for the manslaughter of Mary, his wife. The prisoner lived with his wife in Frith -street, Soho. On the morning of the 9th of September they had a quarrel. The former, being much enraged, knocked his wife down, and in her fall several of her ribs were broken. The deceased was conveyed to the hospital, and in the course of a few days died of the injuries she had received. The prisoner admitted that he struck the deceased, but said that she bad aggravated him by her provoking conduct. —Guilty. John Tate was convicted on a charge of stealing a silver inkstand, value 171., the property of Sir Josiah Guest. The particulars of the ease appeared so recently in the Po.. lice Reports, that their repetition is unnecessary. Sophia Parrott was convicted on an indictment charginc, her with stealing 191. in money, and some articles of jewel lery and wearing apparel, the property of Mrs. Mary Ann Carrington. In the case of Barber and others, indicted for an extensive robbery at St. Katherine's Docks, Mr. BODKIN applied to the Court for the postponement of the trial, upon the affidavit of Barber, who stated that he had been a prisoner confined in White-cross-street Prison for debt, and that he had only on that morning been conveyed to New gate, and been made acquainted with the precise nature of the charge against him. It was, therefore, submitted that the trial should be postponed until the next Session. Mr. C. PHILLIPS opposed the application. Mr. Baron Goesray complained of the prosecutors in the case. If they had performed their duty, and had preferr, the bill before the Grand Jury at ihf• beginning of the week, the prisoner might have been put in possession of all the in formati.,n which he required long since, and the case might n o w have been ready for trial. As it was, however, an im portant case, it must be postponed. The trial was then ordered to be postponed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 27. FARDEN AND ANOTHER V. A CONVICTION BY MR. GREGO- This was an appeal by the appellants, Thomas Fardell and Richard the pro;•r;eto.s ( ) Fan omnibus, titir,st tt , e conviction of the rf•spoltrlcat, of the ,vl4 e istrrit. s :sitting at the (4,2, r.n.silret . t Office. ra pni,NticiAr7 s that this was a Conviction Act of Parliament which wa s hi g hl y useful and beneficial to the public, inasmuch as its object was to prevent any obstruc don occurring in the streets. The information had been lodged under the prosisions of the 7 , h Gee IV , e 41, s. 77 That Act. however. did en , fl et the Streen, but ,‘ subsequ et stature, the 10 h Ge. IV.. sad especial refetence to that ; rut of the public highway iu the foilowleg words :—" From the east end of Exeter Hall to Charing-cross." Mr. C. JoerEs submitted that the form of the conviction was not good. The words in the statute were, unlawfully left, &c., " from the east end of Exeter-hall to Charing-cross," whilst in the conviction the words were from the east end ofj Exeter-hall and Charing-cross." It was therefore clear that the Court had no jurisdiction under the clause of the Act in question. The Court considered the variance to be fatal. The con viction was comquently quashed. TIIE PARISH OF ST. GEORGE, HANOVER.SQUARE, V. THE PARISH OF ST. MARGARET, WESTMINSTER.-Mr. C. JONES said that the present case would not occupy much of the at tention of the Court, inasmuch as he was ire-trusted that the other parties would consent to give an ute!ertaking to pay the sum of 121. 15s. 6d. for the expenses incurred. Mr. PRENDERGAST (interrupsing) observed that his Learned Friend was rather too premature in the conclusion he had jumped at. There was nothing of the sort—there was no consent. The fact was that the case was one of the most monstrous which had ever been carried into a Court of Law. His Learned Friend appeared on behalf of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, a parish which lie had been in the habit of hearing held up as a perfect model for every other parish throughout the kingdom in regard to the admirable and effective manner in which it carried out the economical provi sions of the new Poor-law Act, supporting as it did, as the Guardians had put forth, their paupers at an expense of fif teen pence halfpenny per week each. But it would be his duty to show to the Court how that admirable manner differed in cases where the system of economy was to be applied to the starving stomachs of the paupers when the stomachs were to be filled out of the pockets of another parish. In this instance a pauper had been removed under an order from the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster, to the parish of Sr. George, Ha nover-square. Shortly after the removal, however, the former parish were informed that there was an error in the statement of facts on which they had made the order, whereupon they wrote a letter stating such to be the case, and offering at once to take the pauper back again, and to cancel the order of re moval, adding further, that no expense would thus be incurred. This proposal was at once rejected ; why, it was impossible for him to conjecture. Now, some time after they came to that Court, and complained that the removing parish had done wrong in serving the order of removal upon them, and called for expenses for maintenance, although they themselves were to blame for having maintained the pauper, even fur one day. The other side had determined on the moment, as it were, to come to the Sessions to get the order quashed. But it was a great misfortune that they had not looked a little mote closely into their charter, for the New Poor-law Bill was regarded by many as a new charter, where they would have found that it was competent in them to go before a Magistrate and have obtained an order for the payment of the cost of maintenance. The 84th section of that celebrated enactment ran thus : " And he it further enacted, that the parish to which any poor person whose settlement shall be admitted or finally ad judged to belong, shall be chargeable with and liable to pay the cost and expense of the relief and maintenance of such poor person, and such cost and expense may be recovered against such parish in the same manner as any penalties or forfeitures are by this Act recoverable; provided always that such parish, if not the parish granting such relief, shall pay to the parish by which such relief shall be granted, the cost and expense of such relief and mainteintoce from such time only as notice of such poor person having become chargeable shall have been sent by such relieving parish to the parish to which such poor person shall be so admitted or finally ad judged to belong ; provided al wa ) s, that no charges or expenses of relief or maintenance shall b 3 recoverable under a suspen ded order of removal, with a copy of the same, and of the examination upon which such order was made, shall have been given within ten days of such order being made to the over see, s of the poor of the parish to whom such order is directed." The Act, it would be observed, made a difference in the system from that which existed before it had been passed into a law in regard to the recovery of particular expenses. For merly all applications for orders for maintenance were obliged to be taken to the Sessions, but now the parties went before a Magistrate to obtain the order. The clause he had read said " that the cost and expense of the relief and maintenance of such poor person may be recovered against such parish as was chargeable, in the same manner as any penalties or forfeitures ate by this Act recoverable." The Court knew that penalties were recoverable under the provisiftis of the Act before a Magistrate. How was it, then, that this parish had not adopted that course, instead of postponing the matter until the Sessions, when they come with a demand of nearly 141., knowing too all the time that the parish of St. Margaret was anxious to take the pauper from them, and to relieve them from any expense ? He trusted that the Court would on that occasion teach them such a lesson as would prevent the recur rence of such a method of procedure. The error had been dis covered, and notice thereof sent to St. George's before a single sixpence of expense had been incurred, and that St. Marga ret's were desirous of at once relieving them of the burthen. But he would ask the Court to remark that the parish must be making a large profit out of the maintenance of this pauper. The parish of St. George, Hanover-square, in their printed re port, sent forth to the world that the whole cost they were put to for the maintenance, &c., of a pauper, was fifteen pence half penny a week, whilst they did not scruple to charge another parish as much as sixpence per day. The CHAIRMAN-Did the Learned Counsel mean to argue that the Court had not the power to grant the order for the cost of maintenance ? Mr. PRENDERGAST would submit that the present was not a case in which the Court ought to entertain the question of costs, inasmuch as the parish of St. George had incurred the whole expense in spite of the offers of the parish of St. Margaret to relieve them of it by at once taking the pauper back again. Mr. C. JONES apprehended that the appellants had pursued the correct course in the matter. The CHAIRMAN, interrupting, observed that the case as sumed rather a serious aspect when the parish of St. George had published to the world that it cost them no more than fifteen pence halfpenny a head, whilst they now charged and expected the Court to give them sixpence a day. Mr. C. JONES conceived that the Court would not consider sixpence a day too much, or indeed more than a reasonable charge. The CHAIRMAN inquired how the Learned Counsel for the respondent had said that the appellants could have got rid of the order. Mr. PRENDERGAST—By going before a Magistrate. The CHAIRMAN— What did Mr. Jones say to that? Mr. C. JONES replied that in reality he had received no in structions other than just a little bit of paper. He had wider stood that there was a consent. Would the Court allow the matter to stand over? The CHAIRMAN thought it but reasonable that such a course should be acceded to. There was, in fact, a serious charge made against the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, which it was no more then fair ai;d right they should have an oppor tunity of contradicting or explaining. Let the case stand until the next Session. The Solicitor for St George's parish here complained that only part of th,- ,orr-spondence had been re.id The CHAIRMAN—Then let all the coriespondenee be set out in the affidavits, so that they might be answered. For the present the decision of the Court was teat the order of removal should be quashed ; and then, with respect to the cost of main tenance, let an affidavit be made, setting forth all the facts as well as ail the letters, and let that affidavit be answered at the next Session by the appellants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. .MANSION-HOUSE. William Walsh, who was apprehended about a fortnight ago by Daniel Forrester upon suspicion of having been con cerned in the robbery of the Aberdeen Bank, which was plun dered of bank notes to the amount of upwards of 16,0001., was. again brought up for examination on Saturday, but there not being sufficient evidence against him be was discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Mr. Rhodes, the extensive cow-keeper of Islington, was summoned by John Berkett, the toll-collector of the gate at Hornsey-lane, for going off the road on to an adjoining com mon to evade paying the toll, contrary to the provisions of the General Turnpike Act. The complainant stated that on the 15th inst. Mr. Rhodes rode from the highway on to the common, which was private property. and continued to ride by the side of the road, until he had passed the turnpike. The defendant's solicitor contended that, as the complainant did not prove that be had ridden one hundred yards on the road before quitting it, the information could Eot be sustained. He also contended that the defendant, being a copyholder of the manor, had a right to go upon the common, which was not private property. As there seemed to be considerable doubt as to the effect of the decision of the Judges upon a similar case, the Magistrates adjourned the hearing until Saturday. MARLBORO UGH. STREET. Thomas Poffery, an elderly man, Mary and John Dixon, a young woman and lad, and John Collins, a youth, all remark ably well dressed, and of respectable appearance, were placed at the bar, charged with associating together with the inten tion of picking pockets. Two policemen of the C division saw the prisoners attempt the pockets of several ladies in Re gent-street, one putting his arms round their intended victim, and the other covering the thief from observation. Having satisfied themselves of the characters of the prisoners, they procured'assistance and took the whole party into custody in Oxford-street. Evidence was produced that Poffery had been in custody before, got out upon bail, which he fixed, and by that means escaped punishment. The Magistrates sentenced the man and the two boys to three months' imprisonment, ai rogues and vagabonds ; and the woman was remanded, that inquiries should be m ide as to her previous character. MARYLEBONE. Anne Ayton, Hannah Gibbs, Elizabeth Berkshire, and Hannah Richards, the four women who, on Wt.dnesday last, were charged with having plundered the house of Mrs. Hannah Parke, a widow lady, residing at No. 24, Howland street, Fitzroy-square, of plate, Spanish Bonds, and an im mense quanlity of other valuable property, were placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson for further examination.
